Things to Do on the OBX for September 23 2024

Good morning, Outer Banks enthusiasts! 🌤️ Here’s your "OBX Things To-Do" for Monday, September 23, 2024. The weather in Manteo today is mostly cloudy, with temperatures reaching a comfortable high of 74°F and a north wind at 11 mph, gusting as high as 17 mph.

There’s only a small chance of rain at 3%, so you should be able to enjoy your day with minimal interruptions. If you're by the coast, be aware of a Coastal Flood Advisory that's still in effect until tomorrow evening due to high tides and strong winds, so exercise caution in low-lying areas.

The ocean water temperature today is around 73°F, making it pleasant for a dip or some light water sports. For those counting down, there are 178 days until spring arrives, giving you plenty of time to plan more OBX adventures before the season changes again.

While you’re here, don’t miss out on the exciting Outer Banks Seafood Festival coming up, or if you're a food lover, explore the best places for steak or grab a bite at the top burger joints in the area. Planning for your next beach getaway? Here’s a helpful comparison between Outer Banks vs. Myrtle Beach to guide your decision!

Enjoy your day in the Outer Banks!
